Those first photos are by the immensely talented Nisha Ravji Photography (whom I hope doesn’t mind me sharing them). I’m following her Facebook page with baited breath, and letting out an excited squeal with every image she posts!

I've embarked on a journey of self exploration through style, inspired by the timeless femininity of vintage and the ever changing style of pop culture. I believe the power of fashion can change our lives, helping us step into each day as the most confident, happy and sassy versions of ourselves.
